Today I'm reading Chapter 6 of BETRAYAL, in which we will return to England and Ashburnham Place.

Enjoy!

 

Another week, another episode of Sandy's Podchatter. What will Georgina do now that she has discovered the twins' secret? Find out in Chapter 5 of BETRAYAL!

Enjoy!

Lo and behold, Sandy's Podchatter is back again! And so are Georgina, Ash and the twins! So please follow me once more to the Villa under the Linden Trees ...

Enjoy! :-)

 

After a small delay, here's finally the 3rd chapter of BETRAYAL: we go back to the Villa under the Linden Trees and learn more about Georgina and her son.

Enjoy! :O)

 

There will be no new episode today due to a special announcement on my website. Please step over to www.sandraschwab.com and join the fun!

Today I'm reading Chapter 2 of BETRAYAL, in which the other twin returns home to Ashburnham Place in Sussex, we meet the hero, and a secret is revealed.

Enjoy!

Today I'm reading the first chapter of BETRAYAL: For seventeen years Ash has been eaten up alive by bitterness and hatred, caught fast in the clutches of the past. For seventeen years he has not been able to look at the boy he raised as his heir and not remember the terrible betrayal he had to endure. And yet, for seventeen years he has closed his eyes against the even more terrible truth ...

 
Seventeen years ago Georgiana fled from England and all she ever held dear. But for the sake of her child, she now returns to confront the man whom she once loved more than life itself until lies and deceit tore her life and marriage apart.

Will their love stand a second chance? Find out in the weeks to come!

I've finally overcome the stupid cold, and the cough's almost gone, too. :) So here's the new episode, in which I'm reading an old short story of mine, called "With the Godmothers' Best Wishes."

Enjoy!

 

Due to a prolonged cold, there still won't be a new podcast episode this week (my voice is back, but the horrid cough is not yet gone). Sorry about that!  

Another slightly chaotic episode -- I recorded this last night (which accounts for some of the strangeness *g*). I'm talking about the preparations for my first solo reading on 19 May and about one of my favourite authors: Rosemary Sutcliff.

Enjoy! :O)

 

On the meaning of "Beowulf" - kitty purring - the Holland House Circle continued (includes Words I Can't Pronounce)

Enjoy!

 

I recorded this episode at uni yesterday, shortly before rushing to my class. Thus, apart from a tiny bit about the BLC 2006, I'm mainly talking about Old English stuff, namely about kennings and Old English riddles (the translations of the riddles are my own). This episode is definitely different from the others, but I hope you'll enjoy it! :O)

Late night chatter. :O) This week I'm reading another one of my old poems -- "Arthur" (I've chosen this in honour of the new semester and my new course on medieval literature). And I'm talking some more about Lady Holland and Holland House.

I haven't yet updated the podcast programme on my website since I'm having some problems with my own 'puter right now (I'm currently using my parents' computer). I hope things will be back to normal soon!

Cheers, Sandy

 

 

... due to combined dissertation and kitty crisis. Sorry!!!

Today I'm talking about Holland House and read a poem which doesn't make any sense. :O)

Enjoy!

In today's episode I'm reading an old short story of mine called "Witch-in-the-Bottle": two little girls find out that it's better to let sleeping dogs lie, or rather, to let sleeping witches lie ... Enjoy!

On http://www.sandraschwab.com/Podcast-Programme.htm you can find detailed show notes for past and upcoming episodes (including the titles of the pieces of music played in each episode).

I hope you'll find this helpful!

 

Hello again from Frankfurt, Germany. It's a wonderfully sunny day here -- just perfect for going for a walk and listening to your favourite podcasts! :O)

Today's topics:

-- Old Books

-- Fore-edge Painting

-- Reading: some poems

ENJOY!

... there'll be no new podcast episode this week as I've been busy trying to uncover the secrets of gif animations. Yet so far they stubbornly resist my attempts to drag them to light. But I will persist. And I'll be victorious!

Just wait and see. *g*

Hello from wintry Germany! Apparently there have been some technical problems at libsyn, so I've decided to repost this week's episode and I hope it'll play now.
